Chocolatey is a bit of a security nightmare just waiting to happen. I heard it has a veto system now but it would have been better to design it from the ground up to use a central repo where people could do pull requests. The lack of review and arbitrary ownership of packages makes it very iffy, particularly on work/production workstations or servers.

You're right about the security aspect, which is what Microsoft says OneGet will also attempt to resolve (in effect, replacing chocolatey's repo with theirs, I'd assume).
